You can sew this batwing pattern as a dress or a top and it has two sleeve options; short and long. The long sleeve version will be a stylish addition to your wardrobe for the colder months of the year. It's loosely draped on top, but the long sleeves are fitted and the dress has a fitted bottom with negative ease. Fabrics with 50% stretch work best for this pattern. #ckelskan or check out some of the tester tops and dresses on the blog

What others have said about the pattern:

“ It was so quick to make too, which makes it a satisfying project. I actually think I cut and sewed it up on the serger in about an hour! “

“The garment construction is unlike any pattern I have seen before, I loved the way it all came together like a surprise. It isn't difficult & really quick to make but requires trust that it will work out. “

FABRIC SUGGESTION

Use stretch knit fabrics with good recovery and at least 50% crosswise stretch. I recommend at least 5% spandex.

You want to avoid rib knits and interlock-knit fabrics since the ends do not roll as single jersey does. Single jersey is basically what most T-shirts are made off. The edge of the jersey will naturally curl to the right side of the fabric.

You can use cotton spandex (lycra, elastane), rayon (viscose, modal, lyocell) spandex or other blends with spandex. Light or midweight fabrics give best result.

The Garçonne is a shirtdress or a buttoned down shirt with a boxy fit (no bust darts) and minimal detailing. Garçonne features a mandarin collar, a back yoke and cuffed sleeves with a small split. Why steal from your boyfriends wardrobe when you can sew your own Garçonne!

“The yoke construction is genius, I tried this method once before but it didn't work for me. The instructions and diagrams are clear and the yoke worked out first time: I gave a little squeal of joy when I turned it out!This pattern has the correct amount of techniques to challenge the sewist without being tedious. A very enjoyable & satisfying sew ”

" If I were just starting out, I would appreciate having a pattern like this that showed me how to do a stand collar, basic sleeve plackets, and a button band without a separate piece (much easier to pattern match). Also love the burrito yoke method! It was my first time trying that, and your instructions were very easy to follow - I was successful at my first attempt! "

FABRIC SUGGESTION

Use lightweigth woven fabrics such as poplin, cotton voile, chambray, lightweight denims, modal or linen. Look for fabrics with a tight weave and and a little bit of drape or soft handle for a feminine look.

Kitsune is an easy to sew strapless summer dress. With only three pattern pieces it´s a quick sewing project with maximum effect. It has the signature tie waist inspired by the Tie Dress, but a different and simplified construction. Perfect for the beach or the city when dressed up with heels and a cropped blazer.

The Pocket-T is a perfect top to combine with jeans or tucked into a skirt. A great layering piece in fall. An easy top that just might become a staple in your closet. The top has a short kimono sleeve with a turned up cuff, a relaxed fit and a small chest pocket with a surprise in the design :)

What others have said about the patern:

"This is such an elegant take on a wardrobe staple-- the kind of pattern I'll use again and again as I build my handmade wardrobe. It's so simple and beautifully shaped, with subtle finishing touches like the double-folded pocket (attn pocket addicts: this is a two-pocket-in-one situation) and curved front hem. I'm in love!"
